The Eisenhower Administration and the Demise of GATT: Dancing with Pandora

H. Richard Friman

American Journal of Economics and Sociology, 1994, vol. 53, issue 3, 257-272

Abstract: Abstract. Despite other policy successes, the Eisenhower presidency left a flawed legacy in the area of international trade. Faced with a dilemma of contending domestic and international pressures from 1955–57, it traded short‐run success for what would become the long‐run weakening of the international trade regime. Yet, this trade‐off hides the true irony of what scholars have termed the administration's “ideal solution.” The flawed leadership of both Dwight D. Eisenhower and John Foster Dulles helped to create the administration's very dilemma of being caught between contending pressures.
